The little State of Belgium, says the
Culticatr, has always been the battle
ground of Europe. More decisive
battles have been fought on its soil than
on any other of equal area in the world.
Should war occur between France and
Germany, Belgium must take the brunt
If the conflict. This small. nationality
appears to have been kept distinct as
fighting ground for its bigger neighbors
when they fell out. Just now the people
of Belgium are taking great interest in
French and German politics, though
unable to do anything in either, except
to patiently await the turn of events.

pitcher in the League
So far the Association clubs as a whole

A Wrinkle in Photos.

A "wrinklc" just now is to have your
photograph taken on dark background.
Where the features are suited to the
strong contrast highly classical looking
picture is the result In most cases, how
ever, this contrast is too trying. For the
average plain man or woman there are
intermediate shades, which are quite ef-
fective, but it is very difficult to get the
right ono in each instance without ex-
perimenting at considerable expense
These shades are in general bright cof-
fee color, and the particular tone which
is most desirable is within the moditica'
tions of this color. .-Brooklgn Citizen.

probable that nine-tenths of all the oleo
sold is sold to those who do not wish 1t
for their own use.
